I don't believe Mbo owes anyone an apology. He used the term exactly as it has been used around here for as long as I have been a member. But I am glad that Mike called attention to the inappropriateness of the term. And I think mousethief has the perfect solution. "Folk Police" works just as well in describing the activity.

From what I've read poor Arlo has both the folk and clothing police to contend with. Painful to think of him with grey hair.
